"That young lady just now was really pretty."
"It's so far away. Only you have good eyesight and can see it clearly?"
"No, my butt is too small to give birth to a son."
"Exactly. Look at how thin that waist is. It's hard to move. What if I break it if I put too much force on it?"
"I think the big flower at Uncle Zhuzi's house is great."
"With Dahua's physique, you'd need to build a special bed for her. Otherwise, your waist might not break, but the bed would."
Thinking of Dahua's strong physique, everyone burst into laughter.
"I can't believe this little mouse is so good at making a big flower. With your little meat, can you really make it?"
"I see. The little mouse must want to sit back and reap the benefits."
"Hahaha!!"
"Hahaha!!"
A group of bachelors gathered together to discuss jokes, both obscene and vegetarian.
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm here again!" Song Jinxiu shouted loudly when she reached the gate of the yard.
"Come in!" This time the voice came from home.
Song Jinxiu walked straight in.
"Uncle, the pastries last time were pretty good, right? I brought you another bag this time." Song Jinxiu put a bag of pastries on the table.
"You're here now. Whatever you brought with you, leave it here. Your house is under construction. If things go well, you can move in in ten days or so." The village chief said, tapping his pipe.
"I trust my uncle to do things." Song Jinxiu patted her little chest and said.
"Look, I came here in a hurry last time and didn't bring any money. I brought the money this time. I can't let the brothers work for me for nothing."
Song Jinxiu said embarrassedly.
The village chief took a puff from his pipe and looked at Song Jinxiu. After a while, he spoke.
"Okay, two thousand yuan a day without meals. There are fourteen men helping there in total. The stones and bricks are free. It's a small token of appreciation from the village to Niu Wazi." said the village chief.
"Okay, then I'll pay you ten days' wages first, and then pay you the rest after the work is completed, okay?" Song Jinxiu asked.
The village chief took a deep look at him. This kid is not very good.
"No need, just give it to the carpenter after the house is built. Also, in addition to the wages, it is better to prepare some wine for him. Old Lin doesn't have many hobbies, he just likes this." The village chief said on the side.
"What brings you here this time? Do you want to see your house?"
"No, no. It's nothing. I just came over to see if I need any help." Song Jinxiu quickly waved her hand.
"What can a little girl like you do to help? Help move stones or carry wood? You can just move in once the house is built." The village chief waved his hand, indicating that Song Jinxiu could leave.
"Then I'll be leaving. I'll come back in a few days. Please give this bag of candy to Niu Wazi for me. I won't go looking for him. We can slowly cultivate our relationship later."
Song Jinxiu put down a bag of candy. She still had complicated feelings towards her adopted brother.
"No sincerity!" said the village chief as he watched Song Jinxiu leaving.
In the following time, Song Jinxiu concentrated on eating and drinking.
It was not until a week later that a message came from Big Gourd saying that the house had been built and could be moved in after two days of drying.
"Who brought the message?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"You should be someone from the village who came out to do some shopping. Since I was the one who brought you in these few times, you came to my place to find you," said the landlord.
"It's a pity that I'm not here." Song Jinxiu shook her head regretfully.
"Uncle, please help me move things the day after tomorrow. Can you help me find an experienced person? I don't have the skills to climb the big gourd."
Song Jinxiu scratched her head embarrassedly.
Two days ago, she had helped the little donkey find a new cart.
There's nothing I can do about it. That carriage is too ostentatious. Now is not the time to enjoy myself.
"No problem," the uncle said. "Xiao Song! Are you really going to settle down in Big Gourd from now on?"
"Yes, the houses have been built. The people there are also very nice. Let's live here first!" said Song Jinxiu.
But I haven't seen many people there before! Song Jinxiu thought.
Since we are here, we should make the best of it. The village chief is a good person, so the people in the village should be no worse.
The landlord glanced at Song Jinxiu subtly. In all these years, apart from the newly married daughter-in-law, this was the first time he heard that Da Hulu had accepted outsiders.
Is there anything special about this girl?
On the day we entered the mountains, the two cars were packed with mostly clothes and food.
Because the new house is empty, everything needs to be prepared.
I had to buy pots, pans, and even small things like a mat because I didn't know how to weave them.
I can't just go around asking for it in the village, because the villagers might not know about it and I'd be embarrassed to do that. So it's best to just buy it directly.
With excitement, I felt that the journey became much closer and the mountain road was not so difficult to walk on.
It was quite cool and shady along the way, and the birds' singing was so clear and pleasant.
Even the bugs on the trees. Bugs are fine, they're too disgusting, stay away from them!
Song Jinxiu took two quick steps in disgust.
This time, the uncle didn't park the car on the side of the road. Because there were too many things in the car, he went directly to Song Jinxiu's house.
After helping Song Jinxiu put her things in the kitchen and utility room, the two of them left.
There are two stoves in the kitchen, and two large iron pots on the stoves.
"How thoughtful! They even prepared a big iron pot." Song Jinxiu touched the big iron pot, it was brand new.
"I'll have to get some lard to start the pot later." Song Jinxiu murmured.
"We need to put a large water tank in the kitchen so that it will be convenient to use water in the future. Well, let's put it next to the door. It won't get the firewood wet." The corner was full of firewood, neatly stacked aside.
The yard is very large and there is a well next to it, which was also what Song Jinxiu requested.
After all, it is too troublesome for a woman and a child to fetch water, so it is more convenient to dig a well.
There was a lid on the well to prevent children from falling in. On top of the lid was a wooden bucket, which was used to draw water.
“We also need to put a large water tank in the yard so that water can be used conveniently.
We also need a tub so we can use it for bathing in the afternoon in the summer. It would be a great bath in the winter, too! Song Jinxiu looked here and there. Everything seemed so strange.
"That's right!" Not knowing what she was thinking of, Song Jinxiu ran to the backyard.
It was a dry toilet, and Song Jinxiu looked at the object of her focus.
Dry toilets are not like before where you just dig a hole and put two wooden boards in it.
There were two solid stones on top for stepping on, and a smooth stone slab underneath.
When people urinate on it, their excrement will slide along the smooth stone slabs to the big pit on the other side.
There is another big pit behind the squat toilet, which is usually covered with wooden boards. At certain times, the boards are removed and the excrement is collected.
This design greatly reduces the unpleasant smell. If you put a wooden barrel in it and rinse it after use, it will be even more perfect.
This toilet is also built with adobe, not as simple as a thatched house.
Song Jinxiu was very satisfied.
